Bangor, ME – Husson men's basketball used their entire squad to win a decisive North Atlantic Conference (NAC) game over New England College on Sunday afternoon, 106-78. The Eagles move to 15-7 (12-3 NAC) heading into the last week of regular season play, while the Pilgrims fall to 2-21 (2-14 NAC).

The game started off a quick three from Murphy only 9 seconds in, and the Eagles were in the lead for the rest of the game. NEC played a tireless man-to-man defense, but Husson shot 55.2% on field goals, 50% on threes, and 68% on free throws to overcome the Pilgrims. Husson went into halftime with a 50-37 lead, and came out in the second half on fire. In a 15-2 run led by the Eagles' seniors, Murphy hit 3 three-pointers, Spaulding dunked one, and Modica and Zaharchuk put away jumpers to give the team a 65-39 lead. Murphy hit his fourth second half shot from behind the arc just 6 minutes into the half, and the Eagles continued to pull away throughout the rest of the half. Daniel Fleming (Fairfield, ME), Phil Leighton (Naples, ME), Donte Cottonham (Silver Spring, MD), Matt Dube (Kennebunk, ME), and Trevon Butler (Waterbury, CT) came in late to close out the game, and the Eagles won 106-78.

Husson will host top-seeded Maine-Farmington on Tuesday night at 5:30 PM, followed by the women's game at 7:30, in their last regular season home game. In support of breast cancer awareness, fans are encouraged to wear pink as part of the "Pink Zone" to receive Husson Eagles give-aways.
